hello ladies

I am of East Indian origin, born and raised in Tanzania, East Africa, currently in Calgary, Alberta. From very young age my grandma introduced me to things like eating raw onions, garlics, different spices.. But as I grew up and became typical teenager the answer as most teens was yes i know....  Now at 45 yrs and stage 1 of Grade 3, I wish she was here. She died at 90+ yrs with no health issues. 

Anyone who is thinking about changing their diet or had some changes IN ADDITION to the medical treatment???

I have started having turmeric with black pepper as well as green tea with ginger and garlic. Have heard about the fruit Soursop as well as Wheatgrass but havent tried it. 

In no way will i be replacing medical treatment with natural food and spices but in addition while i wait for my lymph node biopsy and then direction of my treatment.

Anyone has any tip or any comment or information to share????

    Kalo5,

    I am avoiding anything with estrogen (foods as well as lotions and makeup ) Eating very minimal to no  sugar and avoiding all preservatives. I have a lot more energy since changing my diet .Also I am cooking a lot more so I know what is in everything .  I bought a vitamix which has been extremely helpful . Your Grandma sounds like she was a wonderful woman !! PM me if I can help you in any way !!

    Kal, as well as what you'll learn from the experiences of other members here on the discussion boards, the main Breastcancer.org has an extensive section on Nutrition that gives lots of information about foods and supplements.
